a feminist is not someone who hates men, but a person who wants equal rights between the sexes. i dont understand how any woman could not be a feminist.

well i mean feminist as in super-fem, a woman who hates men atrociously. i dont hate men. my connotation of a feminist is a manhating bitch..... becuase i believe the 'all women are feminists' nixes out the use of the word feminist, since they are all that. wanting equal rights = normal, i mean.

the dress form in the background is what makes this to me... the way the light almost hits that more than the actual person is perfect.

She definitely looks as though she were meant to be seen and not heard.

The stitched lips are really eerie. I like the parallel you've captured between martha and the mannequin...almost like the mannequin was the starting point and martha came forth from that base.

ooh - i think the mannequin behind it makes it visually - and the needle hanging

Emotional piece. I think there will be a few people that miss the point.
Nice work buddy.

I just had to fav it. Her look is very expressive - making up for the vocal eloquence she lost.

I love the light. Great shadows. Very nice colors. The brassy/goldish is great. Shadows everywhere.

Nice overall composition. I love the concept and how the model mimicks the dress dummy. Some correlation there! Powerful shot!

HOw did you do that with her mouth? Glue? if so what type? I like the ligting and pose. I almost didn't notice her mouth.

A lot of times I feel your work is too much for me, like I need to keep going back to it over & over before I even feel comfortable looking at it. This is NOT an insult!! And I hardly ever comment (probably closer to NEVER) because it is always so awe-inspiring. Your ideas and the way you present them are so professional. This image I

It's a very strong image and every time my roving gaze passes across her lips my brain goes, "ow, ow, ow..." The dummy in the background and the dress patterns are nice touches, giving the image more depth. I keep wishing there was a bit more light on her face but that might reduce the impact. Ow.

for some reason this fuels my anger towards shovenistic men. Anyway, I love love love the colors. I love the lighting and the composition. I think I've felt like she does in this piece before.

see, thats what is so weird about me... chauvinism doesnt bother me much. or let me rephrase that... i am not a feminist. and some images i make seem to feature strong women but that is just becuase i believe that there are strong men and strong women and both have a decent chance at being something. my art teacher was like 'omg thats so feministic i love it!' and i wanted to gag. i just find the idea of a perfect women (actually, probably because i deal with weight issues etc) to be humourous. imagine if you and i were disgustingly similar? or all lived in stepford...haha

ahh yes, the stepford wives. scary thought. I'm a feminist in the sense that I believe everyone is equal (which is I guess true feminism as opposed to the "I hate men" stereotypical thought of feminism). It's the idea of being a woman who doesn't have any opinions and lives to 'serve her man' that bugs me. I got the impression of a woman who doesn't speak her mind with the girl's mouth being sewn shut. Of course I can also see her being a woman who's really good at withstanding interrogation.
